What is recorded here
Battle of Rathmines is a major battlefield in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps Rathmines is the forgotten half of Dublin's identity, a place where the city's marrow was broken open. Maybe the grass still holds the heat of that summer, the soil remembering what the mind has buried. Imagine the field not as history but as a living wound, pulsing beneath the streets, waiting to be remembered.
Battle of Rathmines is a major battle site with a checked map point.
The Battle of Rathmines was fought in 1649 between the New Model Army of Oliver Cromwell and the Irish Confederate forces. Cromwell's forces won a decisive victory, which opened the way for the subsequent Siege of Dublin and marked the beginning of the brutal Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.
